    Since these two died on the spot, I assume they did not wear helmets. Secondly, the one who hit them did not wait to attend to them, as the people would have beaten him to death. Even those who attend to the accident victims have to anwer later so many queries from the police that most of the people will just watch from a distance or go away from the accident spot. May God grant strength to the families of these two young people.

    Two more precious lives lost in a bike accident and the motorist flees the scene of accident leaving them to die. If caught he should be hanged to death. May Dhanush and Salim's soul rest in eternal peace and may our Almighty God give comfort to both the bereaved families. They must be going through great hardship as these two young 20 years kids discontinued school due to financial difficulties in both the families.The government should fix the Mabukala bridge as soon as possible before people get killed.

    May their soul rest in piece. Last week I was in India n while driving my scooter me to felt that I am risking my life driving on Mabukala bridge. It's full of patches with uneven bounce in pathetic condition. Built by French engineers may be before independence. Why the authoritys are not applying damer God only knows. It's just 300 mtrs long. It's very difficult for two wheelers to evade speeding motorists during overtaking. God save us. Two precious life's were lost bcz of negligence of authorities. The high way name is changed from NH 17 to NH 66 but condition of the road remains the same.

    WHAT THE HELL THE GOVT IS DOING? ITS A DUMB ANDMUTE SPECTATOR. RECENTLY MANY MANY YOUNG LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST DUE TO MOBIKE ACCIDENT ALONE. PLS MAKE WEARING HELMET COMPULSORY FOR ALL BIDE RIDERS INCLUDING THE PILLION RIDERS SO THAT AT LEAST SOME YOUNG FUTURE CITIZENS ARE SAVED. THE DC OF TWIN DISTRICTS MUST ACT NOW IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE SOCIETY AND SAFETY OF ROAD USERS.

    this is crazy. I think that the Indian roads need to be made more safer for people walking, cyclists and drivers. today 2 young boys died what about tomorrow? will more die just because the roads aren't safe?
